Wedding Day

There they go the church bells ringing
Can you see the steeple top
Men in suits, children playing 
And all this is for us.
People sitting waiting talking

Laggards run and take a seat
A silence fills the chapel
And my heart skips a beat
Did you e’er see it coming
Love we swore not for us
But your kindness never faltered 
And my heart learned to trust
Now I’m standing by the alter
Giddy like a lil kid
And my breath keeps getting faster
And my knees ‘bout to give

There’s no one, no no one 
I’d rather be here with
There’s no one, no no one
Who gets me like you did

Do you see the path of flowers 
All the hope connecting us
The little girls they giggle 
As I crane to see my love
And when those doors they open
All my doubts lose their strength 
Cause this is what we always wanted
And I cannot look away

There’s no one, no no one 
I’d rather be here with
There’s no one, no no one
Who gets me like you did

Do you feel your hand in mine
All my fears dissipate 
I smile so big it hurts
thought I’d ne’er see the day 
As your lips brush mine the people stand 
They Clap they shout 'n' roar 
We’ve got our happy ending
And e’ryday we’ll have one more

To have and to hold
I promise every morrow
In sickness and in health
In rags or wealth
In laughter and in joy
May we love and serve the Lord
And when we meet our end
May we say we say once again

There’s no one, no no one 
I’d rather be here with
There’s no one, no no one
Who gets me like you did

America

I used to love the homeless man
but now I’m scared he’ll bite my hand
take my money and buy alcohol.

I used to love the aliens
but now I know they steal my tax
so I agree let’s kick them out and watch them starve

My friends are gay and quite I’m confused
So I read some blogs on what to do
but all are proud of battle lines

And now its all becoming clear
What the point of life is here
"Love, laugh just have some fun
You’re saved, you’re done"

america, land of the free
america, where Jesus is who
you want Him to be


So lets all go turn off our brains
grab our iPhones and watch the game
binge on a show and sit and hope
that someday somethings change

And all around me things try to grow
as I watch for likes on Facebook posts
And when we all try to be heard
mockingbirds, we’re mockingbirds

We use our freedom to make more laws
and with our privilege build more walls
to keep the sick from getting well
to condemn the seeking straight to hell

Whitewashed tombs with comfort gods
Ignore the poor and clothe our dogs
We were made for so much more
than what we buy, consume, or store

america, land of the free
america, where Jesus is who
You want Him to be


And we’re not into sanctification
But we’ll take the gifts.
And the Holy Spirit freaks us out
So we leave him out of this
And I feel like I’m drowning slowly
“Being saved” can feel like chains
Oh Jesus we need you dearly
When we lead, we lose the way
